Types of New York City Personal Injury Cases We Handle

There is a wide range of injury types that may allow for a personal injury claim or lawsuit to be filed against another party. The goal is to recover financial compensation for the injured party. Some of the most common types of injury cases, and those our experienced New York City injury lawyers commonly represent, include:

What is Personal Injury Law?

Personal injury law covers a broad category of types of injuries, illnesses, and deaths resulting from an act of negligence, recklessness, or a deliberate act. While this is a complex body of law, there are certain basic facts that apply to all cases.

The key factor in the success of a personal injury claim or lawsuit is establishing that another party committed an act of negligence. A negligent act is a failure to exercise the care for others that another prudent person would do under the same circumstances. To establish negligence, your personal injury attorney must prove that the party in question owed you a duty of care, that they breached that duty and that you suffered actual harm as a result.

For example, a driver who operates a vehicle while drunk is committing an act of negligence. An act of negligence can also be a failure to act, such as a doctor who fails to perform certain tests that another doctor would have certainly ordered.

Sometimes, companies may also be held liable due to their negligence in properly training their staff – such as a truck driver who isn’t properly trained in safety procedures behind the wheel. Establishing negligence is a critical point in your case and one of the first aspects relating to it that we will evaluate.

How Much Compensation Should I Receive?

A common question is, “What is my case worth?” There is no easy answer, as every case is unique. The factors that play into the amount of compensation we can pursue include the following:

The costs associated with medical care and treatment, now and future

Loss of income

Loss of earning capacity

Emotional distress

Pain and suffering

Loss of enjoyment of life

Loss of consortium (the impact on a spousal relationship, such as companionship, intimacy, etc.)

The compensation pursued for pain and suffering may be the highest valued portion in a serious case in which a victim has suffered permanent injuries such as permanent brain damage, paralysis, loss of limb, permanent disfigurement, and so on.

The Statute of Limitations in New York City

The victim of an act of negligence has the right to pursue compensation – but within a legally restricted period of time. Once that time has passed, unless there are specific and compelling reasons, the right to seek compensation is gone forever. The statute of limitations in New York allows for:

Car Accidents: 3 years from the date of the accident

Medical Malpractice: 2 years and six months from the date of malpractice

Product Liability: 3 years from the date of the accident

Wrongful Death: 2 years from the date of death

Contact the New York City personal injury lawyers at Rosenberg, Minc, Falkoff & Wolff, LLP at once if you or a loved one has been injured by a negligent party. We are well-versed in the personal injury claims process and can ensure your case is filed before the statute of limitations passes.

Filing a Successful Personal Injury Claim

We understand that it can be difficult to consider legal matters if you or your family member is injured, suffering, and struggling to survive. Timing is crucial in a successful personal injury claim or lawsuit. As time passes, critical evidence may disappear and the memories of witnesses may fade. The sooner your case gets underway, the better it may be for you. Our team of accident investigators, medical experts, and others, will get to work on the vital task of preserving vital evidence, interviewing eyewitnesses, and other actions that could be pivotal to the outcome of your case.
